FREX- Fredericton Exhibition

Also known as a sure sign summer is over.

As a kid I always looked forward to the exhibition just before school starts. I'm a lover of thrill rides although I have to say that the rides they had at the Ex when we were kids were much more exciting than what they have now. One thing that hasn't changed is the crazy amount of money you spend before you've paid for one ride ticket. No wonder we always had to beg to get mom and dad to take us. Luckily we are only catering to a preschooler and a toddler so they are pretty easy to please and don't need to stay all day.

The petting zoo was a big hit.

'What's going on!!?!!' O's favorite Scrambler quote.

Illegal roller coaster ride.

Isaac (with a little help from me) won the round we played and walked away with a stuffed shark.

You may notice the caption on the roller coaster picture. You had to be 36 inches to ride so the plan was to let Oliver go on himself. At the last minute I asked the ride operator if Isaac was too small to go on. He said that as long as he would stay sitting down, he was welcome to go along. He was thrilled to be able to go. He was raising his hands and giving the operator high 5's as the car went by along with the other kids. There were probably a few adults wondering who the crazy parents were that let their baby go on the roller coaster but I'm glad he got to go. He loved every second of it and asked to go again when they were done.

Now that we've been to the Ex, school can start. My baby starts Preschool on Wednesday and he's nervous and excited. Where does the time go?

Happy September all!
